Let's spread some musical misinformation

If a bass guitar Sinks, it cannot be played by a Witch.
Here are the rules:

Suspect
Witch___Bass___Result
Floats + Floats = Witch
Sinks + Floats = Witch
Floats + Sinks = Witch
Sinks + Sinks = Not a Witch

Oh, and don't forget to do the nose.

The first recorded mosh-pit dive happened at Glastbury, England in 1781.

During a concert , a certain Lyre-player ( Gylbert Chiswicke) was being heckled by a half-drunken lout at the front of the audience, close to the stage.

The first insult from the heckler was " Tottering fly-bitten malt-worm!!!"...

Gylbert let that one go........but the second insult from the heckler was " Fobbing milk-livered pumpion!!!"......and Gylbert could feel his ears getting red and hot.....

The third insult from the heckler was " Beslubbering urchin-snouted codpiece!!!!"...

That's when Gylbert lost it and, throwing his instrument aside, dove into the audience and straight at the guy to take him out........
 
Hues:-.....before that he was a rocker.......told everyone he was Alice Cooper's brother.......but only Eddie Van Halen believed him......

I actually posted this one a few weeks ago in a thread of a TBer who was told he didn't look Rock n' Roll.

But,...let's not foreget that Pat first became known for singing neutered versions of Little Richard songs.

The man is a class act.
 
Record collectors will usually find the most desirable and rarest 7" records, in volume, at the more notorious singles bars in town.

To get you out of trouble, decent pickups can always be got at your local pickup joint, so they say.
 
In the past basses weren't fretted. After 1478 this changed rapidly. In that year the Spanish Inquisition was established, who became known for their cruel punishment. Any bass player playing out of tune was tortured severely. A bassist who survived the Inquisition, invented and introduced frets. The word fret is derived from his name, Frederique de Piquer. He also invented the pick, but that's a different story.
